Members of the Planning Board for the town of Cape Vincent and members of Lyme's Town Council have criticized company BP Wind Energy for not communicating over its plans for a $300 million industrial wind farm; Joanna Richards from North Country Public Radio updates the story.

Just a few weeks after President Obama visited the Capital Region, an important member of his cabinet was also in town.

Energy Secretary, and Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Steven Chu was in the area to tour the GE Global Research center outside of Schenectady. He also received an honorary degree from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

During his visit, Chu sat down with New York NOW to talk about national energy policy, and some of the issues facing New York - like the future of hydrofracking and nuclear power.
